The Brown Political Review (BPR) is a quarterly, student-run political magazine and website at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island. It covers the politics of regional, domestic and international affairs, the political culture and dialogue at Brown and the ongoing state of political journalism in the United States. BPR is managed and edited by undergraduate students of Brown University, and features writing from staff contributors and submissions from the Brown community. The magazine also features original interviews and media productions, as well as student artwork from Brown and the nearby Rhode Island School of Design. It is sponsored by Brown University’s Center for Philosophy, Politics, and Economics.
Background
Founding
The magazine was founded in 2012 by Brown undergraduates. It receives financial sponsorship from the Political Theory Project, an interdisciplinary think tank at Brown that has attracted criticism for acceptance of gifts from conservative foundations.[2][3] The magazine was conceived as a destination for political news analysis, emphasizing strength of argument and well crafted reporting over partisan status or ideology.[4]
Present
The magazine features the original writing and reporting of students at Brown. Staff writers and columnists contribute daily to BrownPoliticalReview.org, while a quarterly print edition features articles developed through student pitches selected anonymously by BPR's editorial board.[5]
In October 2013, BPR hosted its first alumni panel in conjunction with Brown University, titled "Investigative Journalism in the Age of Polarization."
In 2018, BPR started a radio podcast that publishes regularly on SoundCloud and iTunes.[12]
Staff
Brown Political Review has a staff of over 215 students, making it one of the largest student organizations at Brown. It is also the largest political publication in the Ivy League.[13] Staff members contribute to eight different boards: editorial, interviews, business, multimedia, creative, copy editorial, data, and web.[14] The current executive team is made up of Editors-in-Chief Isabel Greider and Bryce Vist, Chiefs of Staff Gus LaFave and Alexander Lee, and Chief Operating Officers Rohan Leveille and Annabel Williams.[15]
Writers have had commentary featured and included on Fox News,[16] MSNBC,[17] Huffington Post[18] and Slate.[19]
